Situation where all parties are worse off
A no-win situation is a situation that, from a standpoint of a party or multiple parties, cannot result in success. This may be an unwinnable state for one actor or a lose–lose situation — an outcome of a negotiation, conflict or challenging circumstance in which all parties are worse off. (If one actor has only losing choices, those options may also be described as lose-lose.) It is an alternative to a win–win or outcome in which one party wins. Arbitration or mediation may be used to avoid no-win outcomes and find more satisfactory results.
